"The game of see-saw still continues and first place is a serious position to hold at any time. Then again, nearly everyone is interested in the standing. Every candidate should vote their full strength as a position in the list has considerable in" fluence in getting votes. EXTRA VOTE PERIOD IMPORTANT Contest workers realize that the ensuing two weeks is an important and -critical time for their favorite. It is the time to realize upon promises and to secure every subscription possible so as to be able to lay up a big reserve vote. No other extra vote offer will be made in the contest With every club of five (5) new subscriptions to the Republican 2000 extra votea will be given until Saturday, Oetober 15. For every club of five (5) old subscriptions and renewels or $7.50 paid on old subscriptions 1000 extra votes will be given. Several candidates are putting forth -every effort to secure "clubs of five" and tremendous voting will be the result during this important period. Subscription ballots can only be secured by actual soliciting among the friends and members of the organization. Contest workers must go right out among the people and seek sup port. Subscriptions are not hard to get if you go after them the right way. A WORD OF ADVICE Be sure and tell the person approach-4 all about the contest. Tell them that this paper is giving away three fine pianos. The first prize valued at $450; Becond and third prizes valued at $350 each. Tell them your organization is trying to get one of them, and they an help you by subscribing for the twice-a-week Republican. The paper is $1.60 per year and 600 votes are given for every new subscription. This is the time when a compact and easily handled organization can get in its effective work and workers assigned oeach section, of territory. Send -workers wherever they are likely to get votes. Go after votes yourself; -call up your friends and neighbors and -ask them to help. Get them to talk about your part in the contest. Hurry up and see the people upon whom you .are depending for support or some rival twill get ahead of you. THE CLOSE OF THE CONTEST Many inquiries have been made as to the closing date of the contest. To these we will state that the date has not been set yet, 'but it will be announced before long.

KERR DIES SUDDENLY Hemorrhage of the Lungs Takes Him Suddenly Monday Night Suddenly and surprisingly the vener' aoiej. a. a. Kerr passed to his re ward shortly before midnight Monday, at the age of about 70 years. For a year or more Mr. Kerr com plained of lung trouble, but neither he nor the family expected that death was so near at hand. He was a patient the first one at the Mt Vernon sanitarium for tuber culosis, and after spending some weeks there a year ago, returned seemingly improved. Monday evening the Presbyterian session, of which the deceased was a member, met at the Kerr home on West High street, and the old eentle- man was in his usual good mood, tak ing quite an interest in the meeting. At the close he treated the members with new cider which he had just received from his son Ed and son-in-law. Fleet VanAtta, who are running a cider and vinegar factory at Kilbuck, encouraging, his associates to drink it freely, he himself feeling as well or better than usual. After the session he retired to his bed in an out door place. Near midnight the family heard a noise. On investigating he was found bleeding. Mrs. Kerr ran to a neighbor's for help. On her return she found him dead. Mr. Kerr came here from Belmont county and he with his son Ed carried on the furniture and undertaking business for a number of years. A year ago they sold their stock and business to Eugene B. Barguet, the old gentle man retiring. Since then he spent his time mostly at home. He frequently came up town and chatted with his old associates, ey en on the day of his death. He had juBt finished reading the old testament, and remarked that! there were some things he couldn't understand' but believed all of it. He was one of the elders of the First Presbyterian church and a faithful member. A widow and five children survive to mourn their loss. Miss Nellie, who lives at home, Mrs. Fleet VanAtta and Ed, both of whom just recently moved to Kilbuck. It was the intention of Mr. Kerr to sell his home on West High street and move to Kilbuck also. Fifteen years ago since theV bought the Ed. Sheets stock of furniture and became citizens of Mt Gilead. The funenal will be held .Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, in the Psesby- terian cWirch.

CONTEST EDITOR, lot : mty Ideal weather, plenty of attractions, high grade exhibits, fine bones and live stock, big crowds all combine and are msem&rf to make a successful county fair. These are the conditions onder which the . Morrow County Fair was opened Tneaday. The weather was the finest, except a little breezy everything in ship shape and all that is needed is the crowds. The county fair is simply, in another sense, a great home coming and fraternal gathering of the people of Morrow and neighboring Bounties. Relatives and friends, former residents make it the oeeasioa of paying their regular annual visit to Mt Gilead. - - The town is full of strangers who are engaged during the fair week in entertaining the people and fair visitors. The side shows and attractions on the ground exceed in number those of any previous fair. Secretary Miller states that the number of concessions granted this season will exceed that of former years. There is plenty of entertainment for young and old. Several shows, swings, and the different "attractions" which will give the fair visitors the usual opportunity to spend their spare nickels and dimes. At the time of going to press Tuesday the exhibits are being placed in the various halls and bid fair to exceed in number and quality all past exhibits. The art hall as usual, surpasses itself and (is entirely filled with paintings, china, art work, fancv work, embroid- dfery and all those numerous beautiful things which only the Morrow county women know how to prepare. Mrs. Ida Beebe is in charge of the art halL The horticulture and floral exhibits are nearly all in place and are worthv of notice. The live stock and horse exhibits are as complete as only Morrow county stockmen know how. This county is famed the country over for its fine horses and this years showintr is un surpassable in point of numbers and breeding. Extra tents have been erected to ac comodate the entries. The buildings were never in better shape. Painters have been busy for weeks and the buildings are resplendent in glistening coats of white. Dust will be at a minimum owing to the excellent system of sprinkling installed on the grounds. Every precaution has been taken for the comfort of the thousands of visitors who will throng the grouads, even to the eating lunch stands and the dining hall are catering to the wants of the people. Four bands have been engaged to dispense music. Altogether nothing is lacking to enable everybody to enjoy the week. Holmen Bros., Comedy Bar Artists have been engaged to give free exhibitions of their skill. The Governor will Speak Gov. Judson Harmon will be a fair visitor, Friday. The Governor will address the people about noon on that day. The races are to be the best ever. The track was put in first class shape. Two $200 purses and six $300 purses have been hung up for the speeders. Are you comfcgto the Morrow county fair? Why, of course. Every body attends the Morrow county fair, and almost everybody does their trading at Moore's Cash Grocery part of the time.
